Monday night "No Man's Land," somewhere down in the Horn't Creek community, was invaded by a bunch of Edgefield 'possum hunters, some of them real blooded sports. They journeyed to the hunting ground soon after nightfall and, losing their way about midnight, wandered in the woods till broad day, when they re turned to Edgefield weary and worn. But their midnight meanderings were not in vain, for they brought with them eight fat marsupials for a feast. Among the hunters were Wesley Stewart/ Bunch Timmerman, Chal mers Hughes, Willie Dunovant, Foy Vause, Bud Bryant, John Mays and a colored man. While all of them at times slipped and slided on the straw, first up and then down, but Mr. Vause was the only one to completely lose his "understanding," with the result that he in the twinkle of an eye found himself going over the bank of the creek with a broadside splash in the water, which was of October tem perature. Being a game sport, he was undismayed by this and help to "tail" as many marsupials as any of the crowd. Long Branch Items. The Long Branch schood opened today with about fifty pupils.

Taylor entertained four teen guests at a charming tea party on last Thursday afternoon in honor of the. very popular bride-elect, Miss Miriam Norris. The spacious reception rooms and hall flooded with mellow lights, were adorned with yellow autumn flowers. In the dining room, the yellow col or scheme was beautifully carried out. Yellow shaded lights softened the pretty room, which was centered with a beautifully appointed tea table. The bride's place was distinguish ed by an adorable little bride, the re maining place cards being of Love's ally, Cupid. Golden dahlias formed an artistic center piece and the dainty gold banded china added to the artistic scheme. Five delicious courses were served, after which, the bride was showered with rice, which was in cunning little yellow bags at each place. The hostess presented the honoree with an Edgefield cook book, filled with recipes which have made Edge field hostesses justly famous for de lectable food. The affair was a climax to the se ries of enjoyoble parties given for Miss Norris, whose marriage to Mr. Stephen Darlington was an event around which clustered the loving in terests of a wide circle of friends.
